Activity: A Microcosm of Nationalist Ambitions
As you compete with each other focus on your thoughts and feelings. Reflect on them, and be sure to share your thoughts with your classmates when we are finished.
This is an in-class activity. Be sure to reflect upon your experience. Due: the following class . Use Google Doc as per the usual instructions, BLOCK (just the letter in capitals) LAST NAME (family name if you will) GIVEN NAME (as it appears in Power School) ACTIVITY NAME (Nationalist Ambitions)
Questions that your reflection should address:
How is nationalism something that is abstract? That is, how is it something that people make up?
Why do nations seek to trade in items that they might already have? How does this enhance their own sense of nationalism?
What motivates nations to provide aid to other nations?
How can nationalism promote cooperation amongst nations? How can it promote competition amongst nations?
Is nationalism a positive force in a people’s identity? When can it be a negative force?
Nationalism...what a concept!
Nationalism, in terms of human history, is relatively new. It stems first from the notion of their actually being a nation (not always a 'nation-state' or country). Thus, it is a force that develops in the late 18th century and has been with us ever since. There are elements that are required (see below). That said, though, note that an actual nation-state is not needed for one to be a nationalist. For example, there are French nationalists living in the province of Quebec in Canada which seek independence in some way from Canada. They do not have a nation-state per se, but they are nationalists nonetheless (see below). The same can be said of many people in the world today. Read over this hand-out
In class mini-research
With your partner(s) find a nationalist movement which is similar to the one described above (re: Quebec in Canada) in a country from the list below:
Philippines
Thailand
Indonesia (in the last 20 years)
United States of America
France
Spain
United Kingdom
Mexico
Sudan (last 10 years)
Create a chart that answers these questions:
Group seeking independence.
Reason.
Present situation.
Post the Chart as instructed by your teacher.
Nationalism is a powerful force and will also have a hand in helping fuel a different kind of revolution, a revolution that was about to change life for everyone, not just in one country, or region, but for the entire world: the Industrial Revolution. Probably nothing that we have studied so far has had as great an impact on your life today!

Viewing Assignment - The Impact of the Industrial Revolution
Rippling Effect - Mind Mapping the Impact of Technology
There is always an effect when we introduce a new form of technology, i.e. television or computers etc. The effect goes on and on and hence it's just like the ripple caused by throwing a stone into water. Using a mind mapping application, for example Mind42.com Create a diagram that has at least 10 nodes coming from the hub (which will be the technology you choose).
This MAY also be done as an in-class activity. If so, then utilizing a mind map website is unnecessary.
Discussion - Industrial Revolution: Why Study It?
This was an exciting time for humanity but it also caused a lot of disruption and change which made some people uncomfortable with how fast things were moving (are there people like that today?)
There was an EXPLOSION of inventions and technological advances in agriculture, industry, transportation, communication...
Global power and wealth shifted to the industrialized nations
Economic and social systems were transformed as nations changed production and distribution methods
SO why bother studying it?
We're still in it! (Are we living in an extension of the Industrial Revolution?)
The gap and tension between the "Have's and the Have-not's" is still very real in our world.
Tensions between labor and the owners of the 'means of production' and other problems of industrialization are still present. What are those?
Following the Keynote presentation complete attempt the estimates of how the industrial revolution changed England (see handout given in class).
We can get a feeling for how dramatic these changes were by examining the short chapter, "Men and Machines" from E.H. Gombrich's book, A Little History of the World.
I'd like you to read this short introduction to the Industrial Revolution from Ernst Gombrick'sA Little History of the World. While reading and after you are done reading the beginning section, you must RESPOND to what you've just heard in the same way you use the bottom section of your Cornell notes
questions that are raised by what's just been read
insightful connections with something you already know
comments on the author's point of view, opinion or perspective
"how we know" what's being discussed
challenges (based on fact or knowledge, not on prejudice or emotion) to the validity of statements
comments about why this MATTERS
feelings or emotional response
efforts to deepen your understanding of what you've heard
Notice that none of these interactions are SUMMARIZING what's been said. THIS IS ANNOTATING YOUR READING (INTERACTING WITH THE AUTHOR). It will take your understanding of readings to a new level.
When we are ready, you will discuss and compare your annotations with a group and I will share some of mine. The remaining part of the short article will be your assignment for next period.

Analyzing Pictures (Major Assignment - Warm-up)
A photo essay is a set or series of photographs that are intended to tell a story or evoke a series of emotions in the viewer. A photo essay will often show pictures in deep emotional stages. Photo essays range from purely photographic works to photographs with captions or small notes to full text essays with a few or many accompanying photographs. This is certainly another type of primary source we can analyze to get a "picture" of life throughout history.
Analyzing Pictures
Let's look at 2 examples of child labor during the Industrial Revolution.
Photo #1 Photo #2
Step #1: OBSERVATION Study the picture quietly for a few minutes. Describe exactly what you see, including people, clothing, jewelry, or other objects or writing in the picture.
Step #2: INFERENCES Are there people in the picture? If so, what are they doing? What can you tell about the person or persons from looking at the picture? Is it a picture from today or long ago? How can you tell? What do you think the artist or photographer was trying to convey? Based on what you observed, what can you infer or guess about the picture?
Step #3 QUESTIONS What questions does this picture raise in your mind? Where could you find answers to them?
Step #4 COLLABORATIVE ANALYSIS Get with a partner and discuss your observations. Were they the same? If not why are they different? What is the message of the pictures shown?

The spread of the Industrial Revolution from England to America and then the rest of the world led to an era of reforms to try to counter the negative effects of industrialism. Some examples of 19th century reform movements that led to changes for people:
Labor unions and gradual improvement of some working conditions
Abolition of slavery
Fight for Women's Rights
Free public education
Suffrage Movement (England and then US)
1. Define the term Suffrage
2. Respond to the SKILLBUILDER questions (on your student wiki) related to the following pie charts (from p. 314 of your text)...
Expansion_of_Suffrage_in_Britain_Graph.jpg
Along with these reforms came a wave of democratic feelings (nationalism?) in many of Britain's colonies. Canada, Australia and New Zealand become DOMINIONS (self-governing in domestic affairs but still in British empire). The Irish also fight and win some control of themselves and there was even a movement in the ever-expanding US by the southern states to form their own nation free from what they felt was the imperial north! (Get more of this story in US History!) An Age of Democracy and Progress The rapid industrialization also sparked a wave of new TECHNOLOGIES and new IDEAS that TRANSFORMED humanity as never before!
Respond to these questions as requested by your teacher.
1. How would you have felt being European during this time period? 2. How would you have seen other parts of the world that weren’t going through this rapid change and development?

Finally, what about East Asia? We have not been there for awhile...how did Imperialism affect this area of the world in the late 1800's/early 1900's? Note things from the lecture and discussion.
Homework: Essay Preparation
Some people believe that imperialism was a horrible experience for both the imperialized and the imperialist. That it negatively impacted all peoples that it touched. Others contend that despite only minor negatives imperialism provided opportunities for all parties, both the colonized and the colonizer, that ultimately improved their lot. Should imperialism be considered as an absolutely negative experience for all those that experienced it?
Now that you have read some background on imperialism, created an impact chart, and responded to documents and visuals it is time to take what you have learned and WRITE! For next class period, write an ESSAY PLAN (Thesis and supports) . PRINT OUT your plan and have it ready to turn in.
Imperialism (Modern Imperialism) impacted on several regions of the world, Latin America, East Asia, India, and especially Africa. With it came some good and some bad. The world today is still reeling from its experience with imperialism.
